Matthew Luebbers is a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. His research interests lie at the intersection of robotics, multi-agent reinforcement learning, and human factors, focusing especially on the development of novel algorithms and communication interfaces that help synchronize task-relevant knowledge between human and robot teammates during live interaction, thus improving team performance. This has included work nominated for best paper awards at the AAMAS 2022 and HRI 2024 conferences. Prior to Georgia Tech, Matthew received a BA in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2018, and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder in 2024, advised by Brad Hayes.
Matthew has also spent many summers interning at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, working in various roles for three Martian surface missions – the Curiosity rover, the InSight lander, and the Perseverance rover. While working on these missions, he has participated in multiple rover drive sequencing shifts, accruing a career Martian odometry of 228 meters (86 m on Curiosity, 142 m on Perseverance).
